I love me Nexus 6 but it's showing its age and wouldn't mind an upgrade. My other option was a Nexus 6 or OP3 but they're not much different then Nexus 6.
One thing I love with Nexus devices is the community and awesome ROMs. This phone is so cheap on Aliexpress I could even keep my Nexus 6.
So do you think it's a good alternative to replace My Nexus 6, and how's the community here? Does it come bootlocker unlocked and can you install roms as easy as Nexus phones. Also any news on Nougat updates?
Cheers
Community is barely existent because of lack of kernel sources, doubt they will be released anytime soon

so I cna't unlock the bootloader and root? Is there a custom full english ROM?
Yes you can and yes there is. Is it so hard to look at Le Max 2 ROM subforum?

Well,after 3 LEeco devices(x600,x800,x820)all i can say is.
if you want top hardware go for it,but theres a lack of software..EUI is a baby yet!lots of bugs,NO SUPPORT,i dont think that they ever release sources,so every custom rom relies on stock kernel.very good sound with cdla earphones,middle class camera...i now own an S7 edge and the diference is chaotic..but leeco is CHEAP...

I do not agree with you. Yes, there are no sources, so it is not so interesting for developers as OnePlus 3 but it is not as bad as you say. EUI has regular updates, if you dont like EUI there is Mokee, CM13 ROMs. CM13 is smooth, no mayor bugs, great battery life, a true CM... Samsungs touchwiz is terrible, and why to pay a lot more than X820 to have a phone where you will then install the same CM13? It is not the best phone, it has some drawbacks, but for that price, unbeatable. X820 for 220€.

I'm in the market for a new device. My S3 is dying, and I want to get a new device. I am aware that the Nexus 5 and other smartphones are coming out, but they won't have the ROM maturity that I'd get from day one with either a S4 or HTC One. So, my question is as follows:
Which phone has better ROM support at this point, the S4 or the One? What I mean by support, is that which one would be more stable, and more "open". I know they are both Qualcomm, so I'd imagine they'd be equally as stable and open.
Thanks for any suggestions/advice!

Honestly, if you at all like nexus devices or aosp roms, wait for the nexus5. It's going to be like any other nexus phone and have tons of dev support right off the bat, all nexus devices do.

i definitely agree! After a couple of weeks after its release it will have more support then both the GS4 and the One.
Silly question....
I'm undecided between the xiaomi mipad and the Nokia n1
.... I notice that there isn't any support on XDA for both tablets making my purchase decision difficult.
What's your take on this, im on the look for a 4:3 aspect ratio and 7.4 inch ish tablet size,should I look somewhere else other then those? Thanx
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
ive no personal experience with the N1, but i can say that ive really enjoyed my mipad. im impressed with the build quality.
i run the latest "global" miui rom rooted.
also xiaomi is expected to release the source code before to much longer.. which means 3rd party roms would be quick to follow.
What do u mean with GLOBAL ?

i bought mine from china (i live in the US) it came with a version of miui that had several Chinese apps that looked to do similar stuff to google.. and it didnt have any google apps. once i swapped to the global version of miui i really liked the tablet.
from miui.com you can download 3 roms
mipad china:
-developer
-stable
mipad global:
-stable
if you install cwm you can easily root any of them, if you stick with original recovery you can only root the developer.
also there are several developers in russia and india that are just waiting for source code to drop. and its expected to happen fairly soon (assuming mipad follows the general path of other xiaomi products)
Xiaomi seem taking their sweet time lol,is already one year old if I'm correct.
What is the path that usually they use for their phones regarding the code?

Xiaomi is usually hesitant to release the code, sometimes due to too much pressure created they may release all at once as happened in the beginning of this year with mi 3, mi 4, redmi note all code being released, except Mi Pad.
Lets hope Xiaomi releases it soon so that Lag Free Roms can be developed for this beastly device!
Hi OnePlus 2 Lovers
I'm starting this thread to make a central place to discuss all the features you'd like to see in your phones os. I'm not a dev (or not really [emoji6] ) but I think this thread could be helpful for devs. I'm really interested in your opinions!
Let's be friendly and share

It seems to be a known issue with the OP2 as other phones (Galaxies and iPhones) are fine.
What I wish the most is pie like it was in jelly bean. What I mean you could see clock and battery from there and access quick settings and notifications.
But Pa killed that many years ago

Cm bug free? You are dreaming, my friend. I've tried Cm on every device I've ever owned and always found it to be among the buggiest ROMs I've ever used. I haven't had any issues with Oxygen and have no plans to flash anything else. Xposed gives me the few extra features I want so I have no need to try anything else. There is no way Cm will be more stable than Oxygen, not in a million years.

It works fine for me with my Pioneer head unit. Both Spotify and local music show metadata on my head unit. On a side note, the bluetooth on the OP2 is much more reliable than it is on my iPhone 6. There is also absolutely zero delay with the OP2 when my iPhone had a 500-1000ms delay that made videos painful to watch.

The issue appears to be that the OP2 reports Bluetooth AVRCP version 1.5 where most headunits expect v1.4. The work-around is to force reporting of v1.4 which is compatible with the widest number of units. Hopefully this will be addressed in the near future.
We are getting (fully functional) Marshmallow roms soon so i think the possibilities for devs are going to be even bigger. I might even try to make a rom myself

Back a few months ago, OnePlus promised to release the FP driver to the community to help out developers, what is happening ?
They are making the sensor work with the marschmallow API. So it will be supported in custom roms. They will never release the sources.

Too bad, because the FP sensor is also not made by OnePlus. So they just can't release any sources. The only hope we have is that someone back-engineers it...

So NO other phone used the same FP sensor that we might be capable of using the same driver?

the whole FP thing was the reason I stayed on oxygenOS for a good while, which I regret, once I switched to custom rom I was so much happier even without the FP. Now that was finally got android 6 roms hopefully we get FP soon.
In marshmallow it will work a lot better, in h2os beta works awesome, its toooooo fast!

That's because Google is kind of banned in China? and they don't want to use their API? Nah.. I don't think so. is it? okay I'm stupid.

Unlikely but wishful hoping you're reasoning is true. We all want OnePlus to use the standard API so that the device can be maintained easily by custom rom developers and groups.
This will expand the lifespan of the device and make people support and keep buying OnePlus devices.
You hear this ONEPLUS?

So, does anyone think development for this phone is dead or will be see a surge in dev support when source/MM oxygen is build is released?
I bought this phone and feeling kinda ripped of on the dev side of things.
Hello all, I hope you have a good day.
I am thinking to replace my LG G3 (32GB) with OP2 in few days, so I have some questions.
1- Oneplus in my country is not supported by customer services centre, so how much do I need them?
2- LG policy is too bad with drivers of some HW like camera so we have not good quality camera with custom ROMs, so what about policies for OP?
3- LG G3 will not be supported by nougat due to Qualcomm, so OP2 will have nougat support?
4- I like CM so I need custom ROMs on my phone.
please give me your opinion.
sorry for my bad English
and Thank you in advance.

My county don't have service center, and my fingerprint/home have failed several times but after some time always come back.... Many have reported this issue and a visit to service center is the right way.
Camera is good even on custom roms
Op2 will have nougat but who knows when... Soon.

Not once so far have i needed Customer Support at all, mostly every issue you might have is gonna be software as in if you flash something wrong or you soft brick which all solutions for that will be here in the forums. I've been using my OP2 since launch,personally if you want a camera that's decent I'd say fork out the extra cash if you can for the Op3 (OP2 camera isn't the best) but besides that you shouldn't have an issue, but check other websites to see if they ship to you because if your country isn't supported they might not ship. Also recognize it's GSM only so if you carrier is CDMA it won't work.
As for nougat support there is already development for out devs here for it and progress is made but it's just time to see if Cm14 and OOS 4.0 and it's completion. I don't see how its not supported but then again not sure

Thank you so much for you replies.
I would like to have OP3 but because my country doesnt support them and fees with shipping its price will be about 580$ ..
as I understood I dont need customer services and every issue related to software its solution is here.
If you were me what you will do?
